• Ji Jue drew Pan Ying, fed it the blood of a Heavenly Being, and used Established Law to revive its Inheritance Sacrifice.
• The Sacrificial Master answered the call, and Ji Jue’s Pan Ying unleashed Heavenly Slaughter against Ye Zhun’s Heavenly Punishment.

Ji Jue and Ye Zhun’s Victory Over Evil blades clashed across the Imperial Capital, and Ji Jue damaged Ye Zhun’s sword with his improvised Scene Tremor technique. Ye Zhun invoked the Ye Clan’s true Scene Tremor and brought nine empowered Nine Forms down on Ji Jue.

• Ji Jue and Ye Zhun repeatedly fought with Heavenly Slaughter and Heavenly Punishment, tearing apart the Imperial Capital as their Victory Over Evil blades cracked.
• Ye Zhun noticed Ji Jue feeding gold coins into Heavenly Slaughter, allowing it to keep fighting without the blood sacrifices Heavenly Punishment required.

• Ye Zhun restored his blade through The Tower’s blessing and summoned countless Nine Forms, merging them into nine overwhelming gleams with the Ye Clan’s true Scene Tremor.
• Ji Jue mocked Ye Zhun, who unleashed the nine Nine Forms and commanded them to strike.

Ji Jue endured Ye Zhun’s overwhelming Nine Forms and deduced that the Void Throne inside the Tower, rather than Ye Zhun himself, controlled them. He found that the Tower’s command chain created a fatal delay, leaving him a chance to fight back.

• Ji Jue mocked Ye Zhun’s fury over Ye Xian’s achievements as Zhanlu and Juque battered him.
• Ji Jue used the Established Law to summon Worm’s afterimage of Juque Engineering, which bought him half a second before Zhanlu destroyed it.

• Ji Jue analyzed Ye Zhun’s Nine Forms and realized their immense power came from Ye Xian’s Scene Tremor being amplified by the Tower.
• Ji Jue saw the Void Throne emerge within the Tower and concluded it controlled the Nine Forms through a delayed chain of commands, creating a fatal weakness.

Ji Jue endured Ye Zhun’s attacks, unleashed the Fire of Feiming to buy time, and combined his powers to strike at Juque with Zenith of Scene Tremor. The attack cracked Ye Zhun’s defensive sword and stole its Man-Heaven Symbiosis blessing and earth-vein crystal, leaving Ji Jue ready to strike again.

• Ye Zhun attacked Ji Jue with the law of aberration, shattering his Heavenly Being Form and breaking his Victory Over Evil sword, Pan Ying.
• Ji Jue ignited the Fire of Feiming across the Imperial Capital, but the Tower extinguished it after it bought him one second.
• Ji Jue repaired himself, merged silver radiance with black flames, and used Harm Elimination to guarantee the success of Zenith of Scene Tremor.
• Ye Zhun braced Juque against Ji Jue’s attack, but a delayed crack split the sword and caused its Blessing Chain to begin collapsing.
• Ji Jue took the Man-Heaven Symbiosis blessing and a purified earth-vein crystal from Juque, then raised his hands to attack again.

Ji Jue used the Zenith of Scene Tremor to refine Ye Zhun’s weapons and survive being reduced to ashes, then prepared to unleash Myriad Things Self-Transformation against him. Ye Zhun faced Ji Jue’s final move as the battle reached its decisive moment.

• Ji Jue’s Scene Tremor damaged Juque and refined Victory Over Evil, creating a Blessing and weapon fragments from Ye Zhun’s creations.
• Ye Zhun bound Ji Jue with the Tower Edict and blasted him with Zhanlu’s thunder and fire, reducing him to ashes.
• Ji Jue regenerated from the remaining traces of his Heavenly Being Form and Shadow of the Fiend Demon, then taunted Ye Zhun for not using Heavenly Punishment.
• Ye Zhun prepared another attack, but Ji Jue calmly raised his hands and announced that he would use Myriad Things Self-Transformation.

Ji Jue and Ye Xian used the Containing Form Mirror and their combined Scene Tremors to defeat Ye Zhun, severing his connection to the Void Throne. With Ye Zhun removed, the Tower of the Great Fiend lost its restraints and began to manifest its true, uncontrollable form.

• Ji Jue and Ye Xian repeatedly struck Ye Zhun with coordinated Scene Tremors, dismantling him and tearing the Tower’s parasitic growth away from the Void Throne.
• Ye Xian’s Nine Forms pinned Ye Zhun’s remnant body, and Ji Jue declared that the throne had never belonged to him.
• The Tower of the Great Fiend expanded beyond anyone’s control as the Imperial Capital crumbled and the Tower began its completion.

Ji Jue used the Established Law to halt the Tower’s completion and began climbing toward the Throne Hall to bring someone back. Ye Xian stayed behind to keep Ye Zhun from interfering as the Tower fought against Ji Jue’s control of time.

• Ye Xian used her Time Wedge to shield Ji Jue from the Tower’s corrosion and stayed behind to restrain Ye Zhun.
• Ji Jue activated the Established Law’s Omni-Spacetime Domain Flow Control, reversing time and freezing the Void Throne’s completion.
• The Tower unleashed its laws and the Great Evil’s power to resist, but Ji Jue’s authority opened the paths before him.
• Ji Jue followed the footprints left by the petitioner four hundred years earlier and began climbing toward the Throne Hall.

Ye Chun woke from a vision in which Gloria comforted her, while Ji Jue climbed the Tower under the crushing weight of its authority. Guided by the Jade Horn and the cries of unborn souls, he reached the throne and drove Yuchang into it, demanding that the Tower return what was his.

• Ye Chun saw Gloria reunite with her mother in a vision, and Gloria urged her to live well before vanishing.
• Ji Jue staggered as the Tower's Shadow rose and countless souls cried out, while his body began to crumble under the Tower's authority.
• Ji Jue resisted the call to use the Edge of Transformation, and the Jade Horn's light and the unborn souls' cries helped him continue climbing.
• An unseen figure pointed Ji Jue toward the throne hall, and the sealed doors opened for him.
• Ji Jue reached the nearly completed throne, drew Yuchang, and refused to kneel before the Tower's authority.
• Ji Jue leapt onto the throne and drove Yuchang into its back, shouting for the Tower to give back what was his.

Ji Jue used the Spirit Essence Hand and Creation Theory to halt the Void Throne’s completion, then split himself and began breaking the throne apart. As Ye Chun tried to sacrifice herself to save him, Ji Jue seized her hand and refused to let her go.

• The Spirit Essence Hand rescued Ji Jue from the darkness, allowing him to invoke Creation Theory and reverse the Tower’s progress.
• Ji Jue split himself, leaving his reflection and the Sage Form to hold back Tower’s Completion while he attacked the Void Throne.
• Ji Jue used Scene Tremor to crack the Void Throne and Tower, exposing a path to the Imperial Jade Seal.
• Ye Xian revealed that she had preserved the Ye Clan’s final bloodline and that the emperor had accepted Eternal Severance to prevent the Void Throne’s birth four hundred years earlier.
• Ye Chun prepared to push Ji Jue away and perish with the darkness, but Ji Jue seized her hand and held on.
